I’m not sure about this. The only way I can make my lips touch when saying that number is if I actually say pour.

It’s okay to disagree with people. You’re being a dick while disagreeing with people, though.

Yeah, my time on Beehaw is almost always pleasant. I really love seeing people arguing in the comments of a post and inevitably after a few exchanges they go out of their way to de-escalate tensions and recognize each other as people. Real conversations, real differing of opinions, but maintaining respect for people.

Thank you for this

I actually laughed out loud for a bit. This one really got me.

Some advice that is related to polyamory, but not dating apps.

Do your polyamory homework before creating a dating app profile. There are a lot of emotional pitfalls that people in the same situation have fallen into. I thought I was ready when I went down that path. Looking back on it now, I really should have taken more time to untangle my life before.

If you feel like partner is the right word, then I’d back you up on that.

Thanks for that. I haven’t thought about that history lately. Been focused on looking forward. So it was good to write it out and also put words to some of my concerns for the future.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you sharing so much.

Yeah, the 4 week thing was tough. I think the way it ended was way more crushing than the fact that it ended.

I have had a great experience meeting folks at munches. They have all been quite warm and welcoming. A few months ago I dated someone I met at a munch for a few weeks. They were awesome, but they were also looking for a relationship that could progress into co-habitation. That’s not something I can offer for some years yet while my child is still young. And it wasn’t yet a good time for me to be starting a relationship; I still had a lot of work to do on myself.

Do poly folks all pretty much meet each other through organized events and via friends of friends where you are? I’m assuming it’s pretty rare to find poly-friendly folks in the more traditional dating spaces, right?
